This is where the Incident Response (IR) plan comes in. However, too many organizations treat their IR plan as a comp

🔐 How Quantum Computing Threatens Today’s Encryption Standards
⚙️ The Quantum Leap — and Why It’s a Risk Quantum computers 💻 use qubits instead of bits — allowing them to process many possibilities at once. While this makes them powerful for science and innovation, it’s also a nightmare for cybersecurity. Today’s encryption (like RSA , ECC , and Diffie-Hellman ) relies on math problems that are nearly impossible for classical computers to solve — but quantum algorithms like Shor’s Algorithm can crack them ⚡ millions of times faster .
